Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Zwolle
Match Time & Date:

02:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Willem II
Zwolle and Willem II take on each other in the Eredivisie round 6 on Saturday evening. Zwolle suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to PSV at the weekend, but the fact that they outclassed Sparta Rotterdam in their last home fixture is giving fans a reason for optimism. The Blauwingers are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, and we predict that they are going to find the net in Saturday’s match.
Willem II, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Twente and Feyenoord. The Tricolores are eager to grab something from the Zwolle game, and seeing that they looked sharp in front of goal in a couple of matches earlier this term, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Morocco midfielder Dries Saddiki is likely to miss the game through injury for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Lam):
Thomas Lam is a footballer who can play as both centre back and defensive midfielder. Lam was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 18 December, 1993, but seeing that his mother is Finnish, he was eligible to play for the Finland national team.
After making 11 appearances for the Finland U21 team, he made his debut for the senior team on 9 June, 2015, in a friendly against Estonia. He started the game, but the Finns suffered a 2-0 loss to the Estonians in Turku. Speaking of his club career, Thomas Lam played for AZ Alkmaar between 2011 and 2014 and then he joined fellow Eredivisie side Zwolle.
The 188-cm-tall footballer scored four goals in 64 appearances for the club and in July 2016 he signed a contract with Nottingham Forest. Lam won the KVNB Cup with AZ Alkmaar in 2013 and he was named Promising Player of the Year in 2011. His agent is world-famous Mino Raiola and his contract with Forest expires on 30 June, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Willem II):
Based in Tilburg, Netherlands, Willem II is a professional football club that competes in the Eredivisie. The Tricolores were founded back in August 1896 under the name of Tilburgia, but the club’s first big success came in the 1915/16 season when they won the national championship.
Willem II repeated the success in the 1951/52 Eredivisie campaign, with the team winning their third domestic trophy three years later. When it comes to KNVB Cup, the Tricolores have won it on two occasions (1943/44, 1962/63). Willem II are well known for their white shirts with red and blue strips, while their away kit is mainly mint with dark navy accents.
The Tricolores play home matches at Koning Willem II Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,700 spectators. Willem II have fierce rivals in Nac Breda, as the cities of Breda and Tilburg are only 20 kilometers apart. Former Barcelona and Arsenal star Marc Overmars is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club.
